Ketone drink trial aims to stop Cancer-Linked polyp growth
NCT ID NCT06578637
Summary
This study is testing whether a supplement called beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) can slow or prevent the growth of intestinal polyps in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a genetic condition that causes many polyps, which can turn into cancer, often requiring frequent scopes and surgery. Researchers will give participants the BHB supplement for 12 weeks and check if it's safe, increases ketone levels in the blood, and reduces the number or size of polyps seen during follow-up endoscopies.
